"Flying the airplane is more important than radioing your flight to a person on the ground who is incapable of understanding or doing anything about it."

--------------------------------------------------------

"The Piper Cub is the safest airplane in the world; it can just barely kill you."

- Attributed to Max Stanley (Northrop test pilot)

--------------------------------------------------------

"A pilot who doesn't have any fear probably isn't flying his plane to its maximum."

- Jon McBride, astronaut

--------------------------------------------------------

"If you're faced with a forced landing, fly the thing as far into the crash as possible."

- Bob Hoover (renowned aerobatic and test pilot )

--------------------------------------------------------

"Never fly in the same cockpit with someone braver than you."

-------------------------------------------------------

"There is no reason to fly through a thunderstorm in peacetime."

- Sign over squadron ops desk at Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ, 1970

---------------------------------------------------------

"If something hasn't broken on your helicopter, it's about to."

--------------------------------------------------------

Basic Flying Rules: "Try to stay in the middle of the air. Do not go near the edges of it. The edges of the air can be recognized by the appearance of ground, buildings, sea, trees and interstellar space.

It is much more difficult to fly there."

-------------------------------------------------------

"You know that your landing gear is up and locked when it takes full power to taxi to the terminal."

--------------------------------------------------------------

As the test pilot climbs out of the experimental aircraft, having torn off the wings and tail in the crash landing, the crash truck arrives, the rescuer sees a bloodied pilot and asks, "What happened?".
